    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.

    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi all and great forum

I have a Welcome finance secured loan for £26k.

 

I have defaulted and am not paying regular amounts into it.

 

As it is a secured loan can and would they repossess for 26k ?

 

Also is there a way I can find out if I have ppi on the loan

 

Thank you

I have never known anybody who have had their house repossessed by welcome.

 

I will dig it out but their has been a precedent set where Welcome have stated they do not repossess as they insist that mortgage indemnity fee is included on the agreements

 

Do you have mortgage indemnity fee on your agreement? they always did it as a rule but needs confirmation

 

I believe it was Welcome v Griffiths that supported this

Thanks for the reply. To be honest I don't know. I no longer have any of the original documents, not sure what happened to them. I'm 99.9% sure we didn't take out ppi as it was so much more expensive but have no idea about the indemnity.

Do you, or do you not have a copy of the finance agreement

 

you should have two

 

A pre contract, and a normal secured loan agreement

 

I have found a

blue 'copy of proposed credit agreement'

yellow 'fixed sum loan agreement'

I don't have access to a scanner.

I'll be able to do it at work tomorrow. What is it your looking for, anything specific ?

 

Just found another copy of the loan agreement in 2008 which is when we re did the loan as we couldn't afford the payments. Also mortgage indemnity amount is £0.00 as it is on the other original one

At the moment we are supposed to be paying them £363 per month and I just can't afford it.

 

I understand we owe them the money but we are in a dm with payplan at 250 per month

- welcome at 363 p month plus the mortgage - 3 children - etc etc

 

All the woman keeps saying is

'well you do realise that as a secured loan we are entitled to repossess the property'

 

I can't work any harder and my wife has just set up in business on her own

so a bright future but need 12 months out of this doodoo

I want life to go back to how it was, had a nice motorbike and caravan, went away for weekends. Never had bundles of cash but always seem to have £20 in my pocket. Now that has to feed us. Great parent.

 

Sorry just low at the moment..

As already said, you need to scan the yellow copy loan agreement up for us to see.

 

Delete all your personal info on MS paint and put up here on a pdf file (you can find free pdf converters online)

 

Then we can give you further advice.

Let me know what happens.

 

We've got a secured loan with Welcome (probably about £18k),

we did default (on and off for about 4 years) for a while but I'm paying now.

I did also pay a little bit over the contractual for a while, to try and catch up, but I've stopped that now.

 

they phone me at least 5 times a month asking if they will get the payment that month

(they've had regular payments for about a year ), and demanding a direct debit be set up (I pay by card/cheque),

despite me telling them in writing not too, and they phone me at work (where I just put the phone down on them).

 

I didn't pay for probably up to 6 months but they NEVER threatened repossession or anything like it.

 

When they had an office near us they used to call round occasionally.

I just ignored them.

The office shut and they lost their jobs.

 

My account is now under Milton Keynes office,

they phoned a couple of months ago asking for a direct debit to be set (no hope)

and said they may not be there much longer (I wish).
